Yes, rush hour commuters make up the majority of commuters during a 2 hour window on each end, but the other 20 hours? Majority minority. And since the fare jumping doesn't typically occur during rush hours, it stands to reason that most fare-beaters match the ridership.
Except the purpose of the rally is to protest excessive police force. Excessive government authority and intrusion in our daily lives. This is American as apple pie.

It wasn't a riot because of excessive police force. The additional transit police were hired to improve quality of life in the subway and to decrease ticket evasion.
Quite a stretch to call that excessive government authority and intrusion.
The protests was triggered by the announcement of the intent to hire an additional 500 officers to police the transit system and was organized on social media.
It attracted the “F the Police” and “ Transit is a Right” crowd.

All the additional police resources should be directed at Wall St. That's where the real crime and money is.
Paying someone 42k a year (starting NYC transit police salary) to write 85$ tickets makes no sense.
Saying "f" the police is nothing new, and it started with the hip hop group N.W.A, specifically the song of the same title, in 1988. Animosity towards the police is nothing new, going back to the 1950s and 60s, mostly coming out of the Black population.
